[0002] Ice cream is a popular summer refreshment. In the hot summer, people often desire to eat a cold ice cream to relieve the heat and quench their thirst. Ice cream is generally made by an ice cream maker. As an ice cream vending machine for making and selling on the spot, the automatic vending process can be completed without anyone on duty. The ice cream vending machine is a machine that automatically discharges goods after coins are inserted or payment is made by scanning the code. The ice cream vending machine is not restricted by time and location, can save manpower and facilitate transactions, and is a new form of ice cream retail.

[0003] However, most of the existing ice cream vending machines adopt the method of combining a motor screw rod with an ordinary linear rail assembly on the transmission mechanism, which not only increases the noise during transportation, but also increases the equipment input cost; on the other hand, there are also traditional ice cream machines that use a cup picking manipulator, which uses a claw clamping cylinder and a claw to cooperate, and it is difficult to control the grasping force, which is easy to cause deformation of the material cup; at the same time, there is also an ice cream vending machine on the market that usually raises the ice cream to the delivery channel through a lift, the track belt of the channel brings the ice cream to the lift, and then the lift brings it to the delivery area to achieve delivery. The track belt transmission has the problem of instability and is easy to cause the ice cream to fall over during transportation. Therefore, it is necessary to design a new type of transportation mechanism for ice cream vending machines. Summary of the Invention

[0020] The following further describes a lifting and transporting mechanism of an ice cream machine according to the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0021] As Figures 1-3An ice cream machine lifting and transporting mechanism shown in the figure includes an X-axis assembly 1 and a Y-axis assembly 2. The X-axis assembly 1 includes a first main frame 3. One end of the first main frame 3 is provided with an X-axis drive motor 31, and the other end is provided with an X-axis synchronous pulley 32. The X-axis assembly 1 is vertically arranged with the Y-axis assembly 2. At both ends of the first main frame 3, there are also installation fixing plates 8 for fixedly installing the X-axis assembly. On the left installation fixing plate, there is a left induction plate 81, and on the right installation fixing plate, there is a right induction plate 82. The Y-axis assembly 2 includes a second main frame 4, a Y-axis slider 41 installed on the second main frame 4, and a material taking tray 5. The material taking tray 5 is fixed on the Y-axis slider 41. At the lower end of the second main frame 4, there is an X-axis slider 6 connecting to the first main frame 3. On the upper side of the X-axis slider 6, there is an X-axis belt clamping plate 61. On the lower side of the X-axis slider 6, there are a Y-axis belt pulley 42 and a suspended vertical plate 7. The second main frame 4 is provided with a fourth induction device 43 corresponding to the inner side of the X-axis belt clamping plate 61. At the other end of the second main frame 4, there is a Y-axis synchronous pulley 45. On the second main frame 4 near the Y-axis synchronous pulley 45, there is a third induction device 46. A Y-axis belt 47 is arranged between the Y-axis synchronous pulley 45 and the Y-axis belt pulley 42. The Y-axis belt pulley 45 is connected to a Y-axis drive motor 48. When the Y-axis drive motor 48 rotates, it drives the Y-axis belt pulley 45, thereby driving the rotation of the Y-axis belt 47. Then, on the second main frame 4 corresponding to the Y-axis slider 41, there is a Y-axis slide rail 49. The Y-axis slider 41 is installed on the Y-axis slide rail 49 and can move up and down along the Y-axis slide rail 49. The structure of combining the slider and the slide rail is more stable during operation. The Y-axis slider 41 is provided with a Y-axis belt clamping plate 44 clamped on the Y-axis belt 47. Therefore, when the Y-axis belt 47 moves, it will drive the Y-axis slider 41 to move. On the lower side of the Y-axis slider 41, there is an upper induction plate 411 corresponding to the fourth induction device 43. When the Y-axis slider 41 moves to the relative position, it stops moving under the action of the induction device. The first induction device, the second induction device, the third induction device, and the fourth induction device are used as travel controllers for precise positioning.

[0022] In this embodiment, the suspended vertical plate is connected to the X-axis slider through a connecting plate (not labeled). When the X-axis slider moves, it can drive it to move. On the suspended vertical plate 7, there are a first induction device 71 and a second induction device 72 corresponding to the X-axis assembly 1. The first induction device corresponds to the right induction plate, and the second induction device corresponds to the left induction plate.

[0023] In this embodiment, the X-axis drive motor 31 is equipped with an X-axis pulley 33, and an X-axis belt 34 is provided between the X-axis pulley 33 and the X-axis synchronous pulley 32; the X-axis belt clamp plate 61 is clamped on the X-axis belt 34. When the X-axis drive motor 31 rotates, it drives the X-axis pulley 33 to rotate. On the first main frame 3, an X-axis slide rail 35 is provided corresponding to the X-axis slider 6. The X-axis slider 6 is installed on the X-axis slide rail 35 and can move left and right along the X-axis slide rail 35. When the X-axis belt 34 rotates, it drives the X-axis slider to move left and right on the X-axis slide rail. Since the X-axis slider is fixed to the second main frame, the second main frame is synchronously driven to move left and right.

[0024] In this embodiment, the material taking pallet 5 has a U-shaped opening for convenient installation. Its opening is sleeved on the second main frame and then fixed to the Y-axis slider 41 through a connecting fixing plate 51 and can move up and down with the Y-axis slider 41. A cup seat 52 for receiving the ice cream cone is also provided on the material taking pallet 5. The cup seat 52 is adapted to the ice cream cup (not marked) to ensure that there is no shaking during the movement.

[0025] Working principle: First, the X-axis drive motor rotates to drive the X-axis slider to move the second main frame to the position of the material taking cup. During the movement of the second main frame, the Y-axis drive motor rotates simultaneously to move the Y-axis slider upward. When reaching the relative position, the Y-axis slider also reaches the position of the material taking cup at the same time. The material taking pallet removes the material cup at the material cup placement position and places it steadily in the cup seat. After obtaining the material cup, the X-axis drive motor rotates, and the Y-axis drive motor rotates simultaneously. The second main frame moves to the position for receiving ice cream. After receiving the ice cream, the X-axis drive motor rotates, and the Y-axis drive motor rotates simultaneously. The X-axis slider moves to the relative position of the material taking port, and at the same time, the Y-axis slider moves downward to the height of the material taking port to send the ice cream to the material taking port, and then the customer can take away the ice cream.

[0026] The lifting and transporting mechanism of an ice cream machine of the utility model comprises a first main frame and a second main frame. An X-axis slide rail, an X-axis driving motor are arranged on the first main frame, and an X-axis synchronous pulley is arranged at the other end. An X-axis belt pulley is installed on the X-axis driving motor, and then a belt is installed between the X-axis synchronous pulley and the X-axis belt pulley. A Y-axis slider, a material taking tray are arranged on the second main frame, a Y-axis belt pulley is arranged at one end, and a Y-axis synchronous pulley is arranged at the other end. The Y-axis belt pulley is connected with a Y-axis driving motor. An X-axis slider for connecting the X-axis slide rail is arranged at the lower end of the second main frame. The material taking tray is fixed on the Y-axis slider and can move up and down along with the Y-axis slider. The X-axis slider can move horizontally on the X-axis slide rail. An X-axis belt clamping plate clamped on the X-axis belt is arranged above the X-axis slider. The X-axis driving motor drives the X-axis belt, so as to drive the Y-axis assembly to move horizontally. The Y-axis slider is installed on a Y-axis slide rail arranged on the second main frame. A Y-axis belt clamping plate is arranged on the Y-axis slider. A belt is also arranged between the Y-axis belt pulley and the Y-axis synchronous pulley. The Y-axis belt clamping plate is clamped on the belt. The Y-axis driving motor drives the Y-axis slide rail to move up and down. The method of using a motor, a synchronous belt and a belt pulley to cooperate with a silent guide rail is adopted to carry the material cup, replacing the traditional movement mode of a motor and a lead screw cooperating with a common linear guide rail or a cargo track belt, greatly reducing the noise generated during the material cup carrying process, improving the stability, and giving consumers a better purchase experience.

[0027] The above content is the limitation of the protection scope of the utility model in combination with specific preferred implementation manners. Those skilled in the art should understand that on the basis of the technical solution of the utility model, various modifications or deformations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative labor are still within the protection scope of the utility model.
